Review: Disney on Ice at the Palace of Auburn Hills

This was not my first Disney On Ice, but I think it's the one that I enjoyed most. In the past two I've seen, it seemed as if they tried to squeeze in more content than they should in a 2-hour show (with intermission, too) but in Dare To Dream, the newest show to hit the Palace, there were only three stories: The Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, and Tangled.

I attended the show with my parents - my mom is a huge Disney fan, as am I - and we all very much enjoyed it. The show started with Princess and the Frog, which my parents hadn't seen, but I was able to explain the gist of the plot to them.

It then moved on to Cinderella, a Disney classic, and ended with Tangled, a recent movie that may become a classic in the next few years.

The skating, of course, was phenomenal, but there were some pyrotechnics and some aerial things that were surprising and also very cool.

I was glad I got to attend Disney On Ice this year, and am looking forward to next year's performance!

So we've all been there ... that time when you're on an important phone call, and then the call drops. Or even when you need to use the internet on your smartphone, only to realize that you're at your data limit for the month.

I drive all over the metro Detroit area for movie screenings; because of this, most of the time I know where I'm going, but sometimes, I'm in an unfamiliar area or at an unfamiliar theater and I need GPS to know how to get there and back.

A few months ago, I was headed to the AMC Forum (Sterling Heights area) and I wanted to know the best way to get home from there. My phone kept stalling ... and stalling ... and then the Maps app crashed! Gah! I was extremely frustrated. I was finally able to re-start the phone and get safely home, but it TOOK. SO. LONG. Had the Maps app worked the fir…

About the doughnuts:
